Tempe prohibits exterior signage for home-based businesses in residential zones. No signs, banners, or displays advertising the business may be visible from outside the property.
Under Tempe's zoning regulations, home occupations may not display any exterior signage or advertising visible from outside the dwelling. This includes signs on the building, in windows, in the yard, or on vehicles regularly parked at the property for advertising purposes. The intent is to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood.
Signs advertising a home business are subject to code enforcement removal notices. Continued display may result in fines and jeopardize the home occupation status.
